@2:52 a small addition, from the venus optics site : "Only Canon EF version is equipped with a CPU chip and motor for aperture control via the camera. All other mounts are manual and aperture is controlled by the aperture ring on the lens." Also another difference, the Cannon EF version has only 9 aperture blades while the other versions have 13 ....

@Foto4Max Well, there really aren't many macro lenses faster than f2.8 and even some of those aren't true macro(they "only" achieve a 1:2 magnification) and this one being able to do 2:1 while still being able to focus to infinity it's a one of it's kind of lens.

Marcos is this lens really that great? I admit to being a canon snob who loves their really sharp 180mm macro lens. I’ve also used canons IS 100mm and own the 65mm MPE lens. Love macro. Is this 100mm really just as sharp and how about the colors? What are your thoughts on the 15mm wide angle macro too? Thanks

It seems Laowa is starting to become a great lens manufacturer, similarly how Sigma stepped up. Except Laowa lenses (to me) are far more interesting as options, and they optimize their lens sizes (Laowa 7.5mm f2.0 on m4/3 for example). Great lens by the look of it!

The formula for how much darker the image becomes at macro distances is that for every 1X of magnification, the exposure/effective aperture becomes 1 stop darker. So a lens at f/2.8 shooting at 1X magnification will expose as if it as at f/4, 2X magnification will effectively be like f/5.6, and at 5X magnification will have an effective aperture of f/16! However, the depth of field still becomes thinner as you would normally expect from focusing closer.

@sandb1867
@sandb1867 4 жыл бұрын
6:50 it's been observed by other lens reviewers that mid-frame performance can be worse than edge performance. So the slightly softer corner performance on APS-c may reflect this phenomenon rather than the sensor's higher pixel density.
@discomycete
@discomycete 4 жыл бұрын
I can't comment on the mid-frame performance without further data, but that 24mp APS Sony CMOS has the highest pixel density among the three cameras tested. If you scale it's size up to full flame, its resolution'd become 1.5^2 * 24mp or 54mp. The relatively lower corner sharpness was likely stemmed from this.

I don't really like the Sony 90mm 2.8 Macro (especially the bokeh) and will probably sell it as soon as this Laowa Macro lens becomes available. I like the apo correction, the "pop" of the lens and 2:1 magnification.

I'm from Argentina, and boy... I did not see 7:14 coming. I 100% don't mean to start a political argument or anything like that (I completely understand that, having won a war, the UK's claim on the islands is perfectly legitimate). It's just that, having grown up here, I'm used to hearing the opposite claims. Political statements; public places, schools, hospitals, whole counties named after the islands; you know the drill. It's interesting seeing the subject approached from the other side. I love your videos :) I check them out as soon as I see a new one is up! And this lens is just wonderful, I've been looking for a decent macro lens for a while and at this price this one looks like an amazing alternative.

Nice review, Chris! As a user of this Laowa 100 f/2.8 Ultra Macro with a Nikon Z7, while it has proven to be indeed, ultra-sharp, I find that the Focus "throw" is quite short! In other words, when I turn/rotate the manual focus ring on the lens, the focus point changes a LOT! Hence, it's quite difficult to rotate the ring VERY SLIGHTLY, in order to focus precisely on the desired part of the subject! Have you found this to be true, and if so, is there a workaround to achieve optimum focus easier/quicker? Thank you!

it's sharp, but it's very slow and loud in focusing and stabilization, low in colors and contrast, bloomy as like all other Sigma EX lenses and pretty dark as in t-stops.

Otherwise I 'might' use it for food photography and typical garden subject photography. For these purposes, I don't see AF as a priority. Also I already have a Samyang trio (18, 35, 75). 2 to 1 sounds nice, but not sure I need it. Any other insight I should be considering? Thanks!

Great review. Will this lens fit directly on Canon EOS 6D Mark I? or I need to buy adapter with it.

No adaptor needed if you get the Canon EF version of the lens

Would you recommend this over the 60mm model? (for APS-C)

Hi Chris, i remember You reviewing Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8... Now adapter MC-11 got special update to improve its performance on sony mirrorless.. do you still have an access to that lens? It would be amazing to see how it performs on 42mpix mirrorless body.. Could you re-visit that lens please?

I pre-ordered it with Sony e-mount. Best macro lens on the market with the lowest price. No sense, they should price it at least 2x times more

Isn’t it available in e mount as well though? You can preorder it on e mount. Thus not needing an adaptor?

So is the Sigma MC-11 used only for the IBIS in the Sony or do you need it to also control the aperture?

You will need it to control the aperture, too

Has anyone had problems with the grease on the inside barrel getting on the optics ? esp. in warm conditions. Seems to be a common complaint on B&H, Amazon, blogs
